Chapter 100 Awakening Expertise
This is the first time Gothe has seen such a huge earth-line creature, and it is also the first time he has seen a second-level earth-line creature with his own eyes.
He felt both shocked and a little emotional.
Shocking because the size and strength of the purple insect are incredible, and the visual effect is too exaggerated.
It feels a bit like a science fiction film being staged in reality.
The feeling is that the flaws of this giant leyline creature are too obvious and fatal.
They are too big, so they move very slowly.
At the same time, because the body is too large, the target is too obvious.
Hence, they are basically unable to dodge spell attacks and can only choose to bear them hard.
If you can withstand it, you are invincible - if you can't break it, what can you do?
Can't bear it, just like this purple insect, being played with by the mage Versa who is also at level 2.
This thing looks scary, but its combat power among the 2-level earth line creatures should be at the bottom.
The sudden appearance of the Purple Insect caused the death of five people, including an unlucky mage apprentice.
But this did not cause too many waves.
People in this world are accustomed to death in a way that they never had in their previous lives.
Human life is like a piece of grass.
Gaode still had some strange emotions in his heart.
Souls from the age of order cannot, after all, become indifferent to life in a short period of time.
But Gaode found that he was gradually integrating into this atmosphere and gradually learned to accept this environment.
People always have to adapt to the environment.
Next, the guards first tidied up the temporary camp that had become chaotic due to the appearance of purple insects.
Several more guards came forward and dissected the purple worm along the cracks in the horny armor of the purple worm’s body.
Half an hour later, the bodies of the five unlucky guys who had been swallowed by the purple worms were dug out by the guards.
In less than an hour after being swallowed, the corpses of these five people had been corroded beyond human form.
It’s not surprising. You have to know that the purple insect’s stomach can corrode and digest even leather armor, not to mention the human body?
After the guards briefly searched for their belongings, they found an open space, dug a hole, and buried them together.
As for the relics found, they will be returned to the family members of the deceased after they return.
This is considered humane enough.
If you can't take the body back, at least take the relics back and leave a message for others.
Harvest month, 9th.
Last night's accident did not affect the continuation of land reclamation.
Still clearing out the earth-line creatures living in the dense forests on both sides of the official road in batches.
Everyone is familiar with the whole process.
“We are so far away from Hogan’s Leyline. Normally, there will be no Level 2 Leyline creatures.”
"Mage Versa is a battle mage, and has been promoted to level 2 for more than ten years, so he can take down a level 2 earth-line creature so easily."
When he mentioned Versa, he had a look of admiration on his face.
"Battle Mage? Why is there such a distinction and what is the basis for it?"
This is already the sixth day of pioneering wasteland.
They are a temporary team, and they are very familiar with each other.
Hearing Maciei take the initiative to speak, someone immediately picked up the topic.
Maciej also doesn’t mind giving everyone some knowledge that is “common sense” to them.
"It's normal if you haven't heard of it. You usually only come into contact with it after you advance to level 1." Maciej explained.
And the entire team except him are all mage apprentices.
"After each successful upgrade, the mage will randomly awaken a special ability."
"This special ability can be targeted at a single spell and only enhances the power of a certain spell."
"It can be for a certain type of spell. For example, it can be used to gain certain benefits when casting protection school spells, or to enhance the effect of summoning spells, or to enhance the power of all damage types of spells."
"It can also be a general enhancement that is applicable to all spells, such as reducing the casting time of all spells, or increasing the casting distance of spells, etc."
"Or it can be targeted at Self-strengthening, such as improving one's resistance to certain elements, improving one's own reaction force, improving one's skill with a certain type of weapon, or even simply and crudely improving one's own mana and mental power. "
"It can even be the enhancement of skills, such as increasing the success rate or speed of making alchemical items"
"It can also be some weird auxiliary effects, such as increasing your practice speed."
"In addition, it can also directly allow you to master a unique spell."
"In short, any special ability you can think of, or any special ability you can't think of, may appear during awakening."
"And these are many kinds, with different effects, but extremely magical special abilities. Abilities are collectively called expertise. "
"There is no generally accepted standard for the level of expertise. After all, it is extremely difficult to find two identical expertise in the world."
"But according to the effect of expertise, it can be divided into multiple types."
"Once you awaken the combat expertise, practice multiple damage spells, and become proficient in combat, you can be called a battle mage."
Hich Although these are just common sense that is not worth mentioning for Maciei, it is extremely precious knowledge for the wild mages in the team who have not yet touched the formal mage field.
Everyone listened with great interest.
"Every time a mage levels up, he can acquire a random specialty. As a 2nd-level mage, it is said that the two specialties awakened by Versa are combat specialties."
"So even in the law enforcement team, she is a top-ranked battle mage."
At this point, everyone finally understood why Maciei lamented that it was Versa who was leading the team.
“You said that the awakening of expertise is random, does that mean it all depends on luck?”
“Isn’t it possible that wild mages can awaken expertise that is far better than that of genius mages?”
“Or is it possible for genius mages to awaken useless expertise? Doesn’t this make those mages with outstanding talents very depressed?”
Suddenly, someone in the team asked a question that Gothe was also considering.
"It is certainly true to say it is random, but it is not completely random. It should be called pseudo-random." Maciei shook his head and explained in detail:
"It is definitely impossible to control which expertise is awakened, so it is said to be random."
“What kind of correlation method is that?” Still unable to understand the concept of expertise in detail, another person couldn’t help but ask.
Maciei was not impatient and continued: "To give a few simple examples, if the spells you master are all functional spells and you do not master any damage spells, then you will basically not awaken the combat expertise."
"If you master multiple protection skills If you cast spells and have your own unique understanding of the use of protection school spells, you will have a high chance of awakening the metamagic expertise of the protection school spells. "
"Or, if you are an outstanding alchemist and your mastery of alchemy knowledge is far better than other knowledge, you will have a high chance of awakening the creation expertise."
"In short, based on experience, there is a consensus that the more spells a mage masters, the deeper the knowledge, the more powerful the magic and mental power, the higher the possibility of awakening a certain type of powerful expertise."
"So it is said to be random, but in fact it is random within a controllable range."
"Those genius mages, whether it is the knowledge or spells they master, are far superior to ordinary mages, so in 99% of the cases, the expertise they awaken will be particularly powerful."
"That's it." Not only the person who asked the question, but also everyone present had this sentence in their mind.
Everyone started to think deeply, and subconsciously began to consider what kind of expertise they would awaken after being promoted to a level 1 mage based on their own circumstances.
